Chapter 308 Fight to support war!
As the Japanese army began to enter Anhui, more than 50,000 troops entered Anhui in three groups, one of which advanced directly into Chuzhou. The remaining two large armies entered southern Anhui, focusing on attacking the New Fourth Army troops operating here.
Faced with the Central Army's withdrawal in southern Anhui, the Japanese army seemed to like to see such a situation. For them, being able to defeat others without fighting is undoubtedly very beneficial to them, and at least it can reduce their losses.
In order to defeat the New Fourth Army, which could set up a blocking front in Ma'anshan to the greatest extent, when the Japanese army formulated an attack plan, they thought of using the Yangtze River to send troops. They sent a unit directly to the Dangtu area.
When the Japanese army began to raise shallow river gunboats and kayaks, Song Yuping also collected ships in the Dangtu area, intending to block the waterway that could enter Dangtu from the Yangtze River. He even thought about making a good move to the Japanese army coming from the river.
The Dangtu garrison camp, who chose to stay, began to persuade the people to move out of Dangtu City from house to house the next day. Even if some people were still unwilling to leave, there were also many people who chose to evacuate. Some of these people were sent to the rear and some were sent across the river.
Many of the young and middle-aged people chose to join the local guerrillas. However, according to Song Yuping's order, all of these young people who planned to join the army were eventually transferred to the rear to start training for new recruits in the name of escorting materials.
Just relying on his bloody courage, he will be strong with the elite Japanese invaders. It is not a heroic act, but rather a death-seeking act. Guerrillas who want to stay in the Maanshan area will at least shoot guns and understand some tactical actions.
As long as they persist in Ma'anshan, the longer these young people who have joined the New Fourth Army will receive more training in the rear. In this way, if they really go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army in the future, the chances of survival will be greater.
The Japanese river defense forces have arrived yet, and the Japanese Air Force, which is like a covering of the sky and the sun, is beginning to rage in southern Anhui. Looking at these Japanese Airplanes that have begun to carry out bombing, many people who are unwilling to leave know that it is impossible not to leave!
When a corps of the Sixth Division officially stepped into southern Anhui, it also realized that the confrontation between the New Fourth Army and the Japanese army began. When the Air Force carried out bombing, the Japanese river defense forces also began to rush upstream to Dangtu.
When we learned that there were two squadrons of Japanese devils, with the cooperation of river defense gunboats and transport ships, they began to come to Dangtu. Song Yuping, who was lurking in Guxi River, looked at the Japanese reconnaissance planes that appeared from time to time above his head, and also knew what the Japanese were planning.
Looking at the Guxi River not far ahead, Song Yuping smiled and said, "It seems that the Japanese are quite cautious. Before sending river defense troops over, let the reconnaissance planes reconnaissance along the river. Unfortunately, I came in advance.
Now an infantry corps of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has entered the Bowang area. Judging from their appearance, they should have come to Dangtu. However, if they want to come to Dangtu, it may not work for seven or eight days.
Give me a group of Ma'anshan Guerrilla Brigade and Dangtu Garrison Battalion to generate electricity, so that they can hide in the mountains and rest during the day, and everyone will come out to do activities at night. Don't rush to find the Japanese to fight, we just need to drag them here.
Send a report to the special forces teams operating in Bowang, so that they don’t have to worry about the Japanese infantry gang that entered early, and focus on combating the troops that transport materials for them. In this battle, whoever has the materials can last for a long time will win the final victory.
Once there are seized materials, let the guerrilla brigade and the militia troops that cooperate with our combat will transfer all the extra materials to the rear. This time, I will work with the Japanese in Ma'anshan to support the war!"
Although there are no high-power radio stations, the special operations brigade really led a lot of small-power radio stations when they came to southern Anhui. After the two special operations teams were separated, they could basically ensure that one small team was equipped with a radio station.
The radio stations of these small teams can also serve as radio stations of guerrilla brigades in various places. With such communications, Song Yuping could mobilize the participating troops in the entire Ma'anshan area. This is indeed a bit difficult for the New Fourth Army to do.
Even though the radio station is not rare now, for the New Fourth Army, they can only equip the regiment-level combat troops with radio stations. As for the main battalion, high-end goods such as radio stations are still unaffordable!
As Song Yuping's telegram reached the various troops that cooperated with the war, looking at Dangtu City shrouded in the sea of fire in front of them, the people who had withdrawn from the city had a garrison camp, and they also felt relieved.
Even though Captain Zhu, who thought it was stupid to do this before, finally understood Song Yuping's foresight. If they were staying in the city at this moment, they seemed to have solid walls as cover, but in fact they were trapped in the lonely city.
Listening to the transferred people, some people began to cry in a low voice. Captain Zhu also said in a timely manner: "Friends, you have also seen it. The Japanese invaded southern Anhui this time to fight and kill people.
Yesterday, someone else said that the Japanese will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. So at this moment, you all saw it with your own eyes. The Japanese did not care whether there were people or no one in the city, they threw the bomb down and exploded it.
If you still can't bear to leave your house in the city, you should know what the consequences will be. While the Japanese infantry have not arrived yet, the villagers should think about it carefully, should you stay or go to the rear?
Those who stay will help us do things within our ability, but it will definitely be very dangerous. After all, war will kill people. If the Japanese really catch you, they probably won’t care whether you are an ordinary person or not.
If you choose to go to the rear of the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army will send someone to you. When you arrive at the rear, you don’t have to worry too much. I believe that the New Fourth Army will properly place you. What you have to do now is to leave quickly.
According to the situation provided by the New Fourth Army, thousands of Japanese devils have entered Bowang. If it is fast, they will come to Dangtu in two or three days. Therefore, you must think about it in advance, whether to leave or stay!"
With the example of Dangtu City being bombed by the Japanese army, many people who did not want to leave finally chose to go to the rear. Perhaps the ones who really dared to stay were those young people with strong spirits.
After selecting some strong and strong young people and leaving them to serve as baggage troops for the time being, the rest of the people were escorted to the rear by local guerrillas. When they arrived at the rear of the New Fourth Army, people would naturally arrange everything for them.
Such situations have been staged in many places in Ma'anshan. Faced with the population moving from the front to the rear, the New Fourth Army also seemed a little busy to receive people, but knew that they had to take good care of these people.
As long as we survive this battle safely, these people will become firm supporters of the New Fourth Army in the future. The political cadres responsible for resettling the people are naturally very clear about this kind of matter.
Looking at the reconnaissance plane leaving the top of his head and looking at the nervous officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, Song Yuping smiled and said, "Go to rest with peace of mind! The Japanese ship is about to arrive here, and it is estimated that it will take until evening or just night.
At this time, we have to go to Bowang after fighting this battle. For this alone infantry regiment, we will discuss with Captain Ding to see if we can take them down in one fell swoop.
If you arrive at our territory, if you don’t treat them well, the Japanese will think that we are not well served! Take a good rest and store your energy, and let the young people who help you stay honestly."
In this way, the Japanese planes carried out a round of bombing in Dangtu and other important cities in southern Anhui. Even the location of the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, which Song Yuping and others visited in the previous period, was bombarded by the Japanese army.
Ye Ting and Xiang Ying, who received the news, stood in a hidden cave in the mountains and said with great gratitude: "It seems that the Japanese have really investigating more information about us than we imagined. They also know about this headquarters.
If we hadn't moved the command room of the military headquarters to this mountain in advance, we would have suffered heavy losses today. Tell Zhang Huangxin to increase the guard of the guard regiment and strictly prohibit strangers from approaching the military headquarters."
Zhang Huangxin, who also learned the news, looked at the special forces members around him and said curiously: "How do you know that the Japanese will bomb our military headquarters? You must know that our military headquarters will be replaced from time to time!"
‘The reason is very simple. The Japanese’s intelligence infiltration ability is more powerful than we imagined. When the war is about to begin, they will naturally focus on finding our military command post and implementing an air beheading battle on our command system.
Next, we have a lot to do. After this bombing is over, I believe the Japanese army will soon know that their bombing has not been effective. In this way, they will send spies to find the location of our military headquarters.
Therefore, the military headquarters will move again after two days. Only in this way can the Japanese not find the location of our military headquarters. What we said before is also strictly controlled within the guard regiment.
According to our observations over the past few days, even if there are suspicious warriors within the guard regiment, we do not have any definite evidence to prove it now, as long as we are vigilant, they will always reveal their true identities.'
These special forces members who were arranged to protect the military headquarters have been training the guard skills of the guard regiment recently. At the same time, the special forces members in charge of supervising also act as security inspectors of the military headquarters.
At this time, the stability of the New Fourth Army command system is also related to whether the front troops can be stable. If something happens in the rear, I am afraid that the New Fourth Army troops on the front will also experience a disintegration of morale.
Even at present, two division commanders of each New Fourth Army and a brigade commander have two special forces members to protect themselves. The reason for this is to beware of the possible beheading battles by the Japanese army.
